The "New" Doctor Who

[Captain_BluTac]

^^^^Basically, I have a friend(lesbian) who doesn't like sci-fi at all...she came over to visit and I was watching Torchwood....she saw Jack and watched the rest of the episode....so I explained who he was and all that...now she wants to watch all the Doctor Who eps with Jack

But why, Torchwood isn't terrible, but it's very rarely good. :o

[Captain_BluTac]

Oh and and about the final arc of series 3 the first two eps were good, but the Archangel Doctor thing was god awful.:o

[BlackLantern]

But why Torchwood isn't terrible, but it's very rarely good. :o

she doesn't watch sci-fi at all and she thought Jack was cute....along with thinking Tosh was cute as well...so its not like she would know good from bad when it came to sci-fi

[Captain_BluTac]

she doesn't watch sci-fi at all and she thought Jack was cute....along with thinking Tosh was cute as well...so its not like she would know good from bad when it came to sci-fi

Clearly, and Jack used too be "cute" but he has aged terribly since DW series 1:o

[Lord Valumart]

Clearly, and Jack used too be "cute" but he has aged terribly since DW series 1:o

not that bad...the hair doesn;t help...but they could always pull a nic cage on him and ban him from foods and slap a wig on him...the man is like 40:huh:

[Captain_BluTac]

not that bad...the hair doesn;t help...but they could always pull a nic cage on him and ban him from foods and slap a wig on him...the man is like 40:huh:

Don't get me wrong he looks great for his age, but even so he has lost his looks quite badly.:o

[Lord Valumart]

Don't get me wrong he looks great for his age, but even so he has lost his looks quite badly.:o

also you gotta remember since TPOTW and torchwood he'd been around for like over 100 years:huh:

[Captain_BluTac]

also you gotta remember since TPOTW and torchwood he'd been around for like over 100 years:huh:

I thought it was 200 and I mean the actor rather than the character.:o

[Lord Valumart]

I thought it was 200 and I mean the actor rather than the character.:o

meh...either way the actors aging makes it slightly more beleiveable that the cahracters been alive that long...

[Captain_BluTac]

meh...either way the actors ageing makes it slightly more believable that the characters been alive that long...

True, but he still isn't as fit as he used to be.:o

[Lord Valumart]

True, but he still isn't as fit as he used to be.:o

atleast he ages....McCoy appears to change between aging and getting younger whenever he feels like it:huh:

[chamber-music]

I'm rarely bothered by British actors trying to pull off American accents, but I rolled my eyes throughout the entire episode.
The American Accents where terrible in those episodes. Hugh Quarshie from Casulty/Holby City/Highlander/Star Wars accent was really bad. He was in Clive Bakers nightbreed where he did a fine american accent but apperantly since the 17 years that movie was made his lost the ability to do the accent.

Also his the only black guy I have ever seen called Hugh.
this with most of the companions is you either love them, or hate them...but with jack guys wanna go to the pub with him and women want to shag him:huh:

Everyone likes Jack his easily likeable. The rest of them not so much.

[Manic]

I only find Jack likeable on Doctor Who. He turns into a heartless bastard on Torchwood who rarely cares if anyone around him is dying.

[Lord Valumart]

he wasn;t ready to give up on owen...

and he's more fun in dr who casue he's traveling around going zip zipity zoop...in torchwood he's stuck in cardiff having to heard gwen go on and on and on about something welsh...

[BlackLantern]

gwen isnt even cute....she might be tolerable if she was attractive...

[Lord Valumart]

you, my friend, have never spent a week in wales....:csad:

[Manic]

you, my friend, have never spent a week in wales....:csad:
You mean she's cute by Welsh standards? Eeeh. I'm staying in England if I ever visit the UK.

[Lord Valumart]

hey....we have some cute lassies in scotland i'll have you know

[BlackLantern]

aren't the Welsh commonly referred to as "sheep shaggers"? I can see why after looking at Gwen.

[Manic]

hey....we have some cute lassies in scotland i'll have you know
I'll just avoid Wales, then.

[Lord Valumart]

yes...thats true...
I'll just avoid Wales, then.

and the lower parts of england are filled with sluts....the bad kind....

[Manic]

Which country is Cornwall in? Because I want to avoid that entire general area.

[Lord Valumart]

cornwall is at the bottom of england...you want from like birmingham upwards...thats the good parts

[SpideyLad]

yes...thats true...


and the lower parts of england are filled with sluts....the bad kind....

And all we have is general crappiness...

I.e Charva's :csad:

Really? LV I would say the worse hehe kidding, you are wayyyyyy up north.

Best part of the UK is where I live, as I'm there :p
Cornwall etc are nice in the summer, beaches are good.

they have great chips (fries) in wales.
You mean she's cute by Welsh standards? Eeeh. I'm staying in England if I ever visit the UK.
Wales has insanely hot girls. Plus girls from south wales have sexy accents. Gwen is ugly not just welsh standards but everyone in britains standards. RTD is more intrested in hiring attractive guys than he is girls.

hey....we have some cute lassies in scotland i'll have you know
No offence to you guys north of the border but of all 3 nations of Britain (England, Scotland, Wales) your women are the least attractive.
Can you name one hot scottish model, actress, singer?
and I mean someone born and raised in scotland.

aren't the Welsh commonly referred to as "sheep shaggers"? I can see why after looking at Gwen.
Wales has a large sheep population like New Zealand so they are called sheep shaggers. I don't know about wales but in new zealand there are like 4 sheep for every person.

I'll just avoid Wales, then.
Wales is one of the most beautiful parts of Britain. The welsh valleys are what england used to look like before we destroyed everything with ugly buildings in the industrial revolution.
yes...thats true...

and the lower parts of england are filled with sluts....the bad kind....
Sure there are sluts but no mose down south then up north. I'm sure a night out in Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Leeds would prove that.
cornwall is at the bottom of england...you want from like birmingham upwards...thats the good parts

Hold up :nono:

Cornwall is pretty much the only place you can surf in england and they have cornish pasties which are great. Its also white bread country

Newcastle is a scary place on a Friday night...

south east london.

Its funny I would of thought Chavs once discovering how disliked and mocked they are would of changed or died out but apperantly they don't have that much self awareness.

[Bastila]

^

Thats as they drop out of school and miss the whole education part lol. But good point LOL.

And Charv's deserve to die...

''They all deserve to die,even you Mrs Lovette even I'' - reminded me of Sweeny Todd lol.

Because, in all of the whole human race, Mrs Lovett,
There are two kinds of people, only two.
One staying put in his proper place.
And one with his foot in the charva's face...

:csad:

everything up until the todd talk was dr who related...

[chamber-music]

Chavs wouldn't be so bad if they all sang like Sweeny Todd or Oliver Twist. They just burst into a musical performance while hanging on the street.

Sure The Artful Dodger nicks your wallet but if he sang while he did it atleast you would be entertained :yay:

Most of the time it is....

[Obsidian]

I'm hoping in the near future that they stop relying on past villians to become big threats that last multiple episodes and create some fantastic new ones. I'm frankly getting sick of the Daleks. Cybermen were quite interesting because of the ethical dilemma they posed, but they've had their run.

[BlackLantern]

How about malicious garden gnomes that want to blow up the universe?

[Whirlysplat]

Russell T Davies loves that stuff!! Remember the Christmas tree and Santa's?:(

I think that was done for the benefit of the fans of the original series, I'm sure when it was announced in 04 or 05 that Doctor Who would be back, the writers got deluged with mail begging for this character and that character...I remember the reruns on PBS when I was younger.

I hope they realize soon that the reuse of these villians is getting tiresome. The "Daleks in Manhattan" saga could've been shortened to just one episode. There are so many urban legends and myths within our culture that the writers could easily assimilate into the Doctor Who universe. I feel that they're not taking their chance to expand the scope of the series by relegating the use of the same villlians over and over. Steven Moffat did wonderfully with the Weeping Angels, hopefully he can bring a recurring villian with a similar presence.

[redmarvel]

we all watch torchwood for jack....and the hope of some female nudity....but mostly jack:up:

My hubby hates the "gay" episodes of Torchwood. It makes it hard to get him to watch it at all. He watches Torchwood for the action, but hates anything that makes him think of a soap.

[Whirlysplat]

but hates anything that makes him think of a soap.

He sounds like a good guy :up: Till him he's not alone RM!

So you'd rather have ****ty stuff dreamed up by RTD than the classic villains?:huh:

[Lord Valumart]

the slitheen really have the possibility of becoming this series dalek...

[TheCorpulent1]

Anything's better than another Dalek story where their central concept is further diluted.

[Lord Valumart]

The Mistake of the Daleks
by RTD
plot: the daleks hover for a bit and demand the worlds supply of salt. the dr appears and promtly tells them to "buggar off out of it!" and thus saves the day. donna strips.

[TheCorpulent1]

Audience reaction: "How the **** did these douchebags ever wipe out the Doctor's entire race?" :huh:

[Captain_BluTac]

Audience reaction: "How the **** did these douchebags ever wipe out the Doctor's entire race?" :huh:

STD's, yup the Timelords are just that perverted, well except for The Doctor he likes humans, men, women and children. :o

[Whirlysplat]

Anything's better than another Dalek story where their central concept is further diluted.

Does that include the doctor kept in a bird cage and a jesus christ ressurection ending?

[TheCorpulent1]

I don't know. That or a Dalek "evolving" into a cyclops in a pinstriped suit? I'll have to think about that one.

[Whirlysplat]

I don't know. That or a Dalek "evolving" into a cyclops in a pinstriped suit? I'll have to think about that one.

It is tricky Corp, I go with that ****ty resurrection!

[Obsidian]

So you'd rather have ****ty stuff dreamed up by RTD than the classic villains?:huh:

RTD doesn't necessarily have to create the villian. Hell, I'd prefer it if Moffat took over as head writer. His stories may be filler, but they're damn near excellent. The Toclofane weren't that bad. The idea I mean, but having them become flying metal spheres wasn't the best way they could've done it.:csad:

[TheCorpulent1]

Maybe if Stephen Moffat took over, he'd make Sally Sparrow a companion instead of useless douches like Donna.

[Captain_BluTac]

I like Donna. :cmad:

[TheCorpulent1]

I like Sally. :cmad:

[Wall-weasle]

What annoys me the most about the Daleks is that they seem to keep surviving the "Time War" and yet none of the other Time Lords mysteriously "survive"... well, the Master is an exception, but he turned himself into a human and he's a villian... like everyone else who somehow survived.

By the way, is it official that Davros will be in this next season? I really, really hope it's not true... *grumbles to self* another long Dalek-centered series...

[Manic]

Sally Sparrow was practically screaming to become the Doctor's next companion at the end of "Blink."

[TheCorpulent1]

If she wasn't, I certainly was. Like, literally, into my TV. :(

[Manic]

I was honestly expecting her to be the new companion for season/series 4. She was pretty, smart, capable, a well-written character, well-acted, and the Doctor said he'd be seeing her again at the end of the episode. That was like the perfect set up.

[BlackLantern]

as for companions...all of them seem to be so thrilled to travel with The Doctor. can I get something a little different? maybe someone who has ulterior motives or someone who becomes a companion because they don't have anywhere else to go....

[04nbod]

tegan was abducted and kept on moaning about wanting to go home. Turlough tried to kill the doctor for the black guardian.


there will be a preview of the next season after toy story on BBCone on saturday, so around 7.00pm

[chamber-music]

Does that include the doctor kept in a bird cage and a jesus christ ressurection ending?

I don't know. That or a Dalek "evolving" into a cyclops in a pinstriped suit? I'll have to think about that one.

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

I just want an episode where the aliens don't speak like they have special needs.

Yeah, she seemed to have the perfect set up. We saw her actually solve a mystery on her own and be self-sufficient, forthright, and courageous in the face of overwhelming odds.

Oh, silly me, I guess that's exactly why she wasn't one of the Doctor's companions--too far against type for the current series. :o
as for companions...all of them seem to be so thrilled to travel with The Doctor. can I get something a little different? maybe someone who has ulterior motives or someone who becomes a companion because they don't have anywhere else to go....
That would be pretty good. A snarky companion who actually challenges the Doctor instead of fawning over him endlessly = :up:

[DoctorJones]

Hmmm, they might make Sally a long-term companion. You never know what Davies is planning. He changes his mind a lot: he felt Donna would be too irritating as a companion, but realised the character had changed, so there.

[TheCorpulent1]

Making Sally a companion would be too sensible and please too many Doctor Who fans for RTD to bother with.

[04nbod]

Hmmm, they might make Sally a long-term companion. You never know what Davies is planning. He changes his mind a lot: he felt Donna would be too irritating as a companion, but realised the character had changed, so there.

thats not true. he didn't think catherine tate had the time to be a full time companion

[chamber-music]

Hmmm, they might make Sally a long-term companion. You never know what Davies is planning. He changes his mind a lot: he felt Donna would be too irritating as a companion, but realised the character had changed, so there.

He was right

[BlackLantern]

Donna was the lady in the wedding dress, right? she was a bit loud and obnoxious, but towards the end she did seem like she was a good person.

[TheCorpulent1]

Most people are good people. Not as many are actually interesting enough to be the Doctor's companions.

[Lord Valumart]

Audience reaction: "How the **** did these douchebags ever wipe out the Doctor's entire race?" :huh:

er...they didn't:huh:

[TheCorpulent1]

Didn't they? The Doctor's the only Time Lord left after their war with the Daleks. :huh:

[BlackLantern]

That would be pretty good. A snarky companion who actually challenges the Doctor instead of fawning over him endlessly = :up:

I'd be good with that...or even have a companion become the big villain in a story arc...

[Lord Valumart]

watch TPOTW again...

it's very much suggested that the dr wiped them both out using the same method he planned to use there, and only survived due to an 'eye of the storm' kinda thing

[TheCorpulent1]

I'll take your word for it. Either way, the Daleks were obviously a credible enough threat to stalemate the Time Lords, otherwise the Doctor probably wouldn't have felt the need to kill all of them. They've been pretty sucky in the series so far.

[Lord Valumart]

well the time lords sent him back to their creation to try and wipe them out in genesis...so they clearly cared enough to try and stop them taking over..

[Manic]

The Doctor did say that the Time Lords lost the war. The Master once commented that he was there when the Daleks made a major victory over Gallifrey (a victory so large, it made the Master run away and turn human). I'd say the Time Lords were already hopelessly losing the war before the Doctor wiped out both sides to end it all. Why else would he be desperate enough to commit double-genocide?

I agree. When you think about the daleks they have no conscience and would do anything to win while the time lords debate it in a council and would never go to those lengths. Hence the time lords losing and the doctor deciding that a universe without the time lords is better than a universe under the dominion of daleks

[TheCorpulent1]

I wish we could get a TV-movie of the last Time War while Tennant's off halting production on the show. What's McGann up to these days?

[Captain_BluTac]

tesco adverts i believe....but if you beleive some people he might be around for christmas...unless thats been debunked as crap

[04nbod]

tesco adverts i believe....but if you beleive some people he might be around for christmas...unless thats been debunked as crap

I thought he did ITV adverts or was is O2? hmmm...

[TheCorpulent1]

Seriously, if all he's doing is commercials and voice acting, RTD needs to snap him up and make a Time War movie.

[chamber-music]

They should get all the Mcgann brothers in it.

[Lord Valumart]

I thought he did ITV adverts or was is O2? hmmm...

he might do ITV...i dunno anymore...he did an advert for virgin mobile cause i was like "MCGANN!! IT'S MCGANN!!!" when it came on:huh:

[TheCorpulent1]

I wonder if we'll ever see a Doctor with a non-English accent. Like a Scottish Doctor (who uses his Scottish accent, since Tennant doesn't) or an Indian Doctor or something.

[Lord Valumart]

i doubt we'd see that for the same reason well never see a female dr...the fans would disown the show and start riots in the street....

[TheCorpulent1]

Narrow-minded Brits. :cmad:

[Lord Valumart]

we're british...we're supposed to be

[chamber-music]

i doubt we'd see that for the same reason well never see a female dr...the fans would disown the show and start riots in the street....

I've actully seen a lot of people in favour of a female or different ethnicity Doctor.

If the Doctor was a women or a british asian or whatever I don't think people would be that bothered.

[TheCorpulent1]

Or they could take it to the extreme and make the Doctor a black woman from France or Canada or something. :)

[Manic]

Or they could take it to the extreme and make the Doctor a black woman from France or Canada or something. :)
Don't be ridiculous. A French Doctor?

[TheCorpulent1]

A French lady Doctor. ;)

[Mister Sinister]

April 5th has been confirmed as the series 4 Launch Date

[chamber-music]

A French lady Doctor. ;)
I don't know if Jack would still want hump the Doctor leg if he was a she.
(sure his characters supposed to shag anything but he leans more to the fellas)

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, he really does. He just flirts with women; he actually bones men.

[Bastila]

April 5th has been confirmed as the series 4 Launch Date

thats cool.

I thought he did ITV adverts or was is O2? hmmm...

Sean Bean does the voice over for our O2 adverts.

[LexCorp]

So what is new with the Dr?

I was on holiday

[SpideyLad]

So what is new with the Dr?

I was on holiday

Very little....

[TheCorpulent1]

He's still off the air. Torchwood is still oversexed, but we all take it because it's all we've got at the moment.

[SpideyLad]

He's still off the air. Torchwood is still oversexed, but we all take it because it's all we've got at the moment.

You seen the latest episode of Torchwood yet? We saw Jack and Ianto doing things....

[TheCorpulent1]

We see Jack and Ianto making out every other episode. If they go a little further, big deal. I've learned to expect it from RTD.

[COMPO]

Or they could take it to the extreme and make the Doctor a black woman from France or Canada or something. :)

french canadian? ewww :woot:

[Manic]

A French lady Doctor. ;)
I'd sooner have an Indian lady Doctor from Toronto than a white male from France.

[04nbod]

doctor who has 2 hugo nominations
blink by steven moffat
human nature/ family of blood by paul cornell

torchwood has on for captain jack harkness by catherine tregenna

it will fight it out with battlestar galactica Razor and star trek new voyages

unfortunately for paul cornell and the other nominees i think moffat has it in the bag again :(

[Lord Valumart]

why?

moffat's ep was a horrible pit stain on the already amazingly poor series:huh:

cornell on the other had wrote not only the best ep of dr who but also the best ep of Primeval:up:

[Manic]

I thought "Blink" was one of the best episodes of season 3. "Human Nature" was better, though.

[Captain_BluTac]

Human Nature was okay, but a little Martha heavy for my liking. :o

[TheCorpulent1]

Battlestar Galactica's totally winning that award anyway. No big deal.

[BlackLantern]

so saw "The Sound of Drums" this morning.....I like this John Simm guy.....I thought the techno "Here come the Drums" song was funny....

IMO..being a newer fan of all this. For all the b****ing and moaning you guys do, you could be a little grateful that you have a Doctor Who show to watch and complain about. It went off the air in the mid or late eighties and that could have been it. You would have been stuck with reruns and novels.

I'm glad to have the show back and it is good on the odd occasion, but sometimes scenes and episodes are so bad it's almost painful to watch and it tends to be involved with RTD, so the shows needs 2 executive producers to reign in RTD before he completely destroys the franchise's reputation, which to some extent he has, because he has changed it from a legitimate sci fi show into a questionable kids show.

[Manic]

Wasn't Doctor Who always for kids and the family, except its older fans have painted it as a show for adults out of pure nostalgia?

[BlackLantern]

I'd agree....I have only seen 3 or 4 of the episodes from the original series, but it was hardly high drama. It has been around forever over there. It has the reputation that Star Trek has over here....its gone beyond a tv show, its a damn institution and its fans have placed it on a pedestal.

The first film was a family film but on first airing kids tended to shy away from the stories, with them being overly complex and to some pretty scary (according to Wikipedia).

That may be the case for some but the pedestal thing isn't true for me I only started watching the show in 2004 (I wasn't allowed to watch it when I was a kid, my mum has some irrational Dalek phobia) after being told by one of my friends that it was "frickin awesome" and started watching the odd episode here and there.

[chamber-music]

so saw "The Sound of Drums" this morning.....I like this John Simm guy.....I thought the techno "Here come the Drums" song was funny....


Check John Simm out in the film Human Traffic. Its a good movie

I don't believe that. If I perceive something as mediocre, I'm gonna call it mediocre. I have to agree that the tone hasn't changed much from the older Doctor Who serials, based on the few episodes I've seen. The new series just seems sillier and far too concerned with romantic subplots. It's like a kids' show trying to pretend it's more than a kids' show at times. I could've done without the tearful goodbye to Rose or the sexual tension with Martha. Hopefully we'll be spared that with Donna.

[Manic]

No, Donna will just slap him. Constantly.

[TheCorpulent1]

Good. Sometimes the Doctor really needs a good slap.

[Manic]

I hope she chooses her slaps wisely. Like when the Doctor is in the middle of a hyper-speed rant. I'm American, and I can only understand so much coming from a Scottish accent pretending to be an English accent at 1000 words per second.

[chamber-music]

I would think Tennants Doctor accent is quite clear compared to Ecclesons. I have a real hard time understanding northern accents.

[TheCorpulent1]

I loved Eccleston. Shame he only stuck around for one series.

[The Question]

I loved Eccleston. Shame he only stuck around for one series.

I tend to prefer Tennant's Doctor, but I do think that as a whole, Eccleson was in more good stories.

Why where are you from??

[04nbod]

trailer at 7pm just a reminder!

[chamber-music]

Why where are you from??

London. I can understand people from Leeds and Manchester but geordies and Scousers I have trouble understanding from time to time.

[Obsidian]

why?

moffat's ep was a horrible pit stain on the already amazingly poor series:huh:

cornell on the other had wrote not only the best ep of dr who but also the best ep of Primeval:up:

what?! moffat's ep had some amazing character interaction and the whole set-up, although initially confusing, was genius. Cornell's episode(s) are great as well. Keep them as the main writers and we've got a continuing qualitative show instead of a really good show with some mediocre episodes.

the one with the mamoth on the motorway...

[TheCorpulent1]

That was a good episode.

[BlackLantern]

so I saw "The Family of Blood" and it was good...I felt really bad for the Matron at the end of all that...she really was in love with "John Smith" and told the Doctor to shove off....

Trailer for Doctor Who Series 4

I'm actually interested in what Donna has to bring to the plate companionship-wise. She's certainly not a regurgitation of the previous companions and the writer of one the upcoming episodes says that Donna's not just going to sit there and gape at what the Doctor does. She more or less questions what he does, especially when they're in Pompeii. Other than those aspects, I'm not exactly thrilled about Catherine Tate's Donna as the new companion.

[BlackLantern]

it will be a bit before the next season airs here in the US...but I saw the episode with Donna and the Raknos Queen....she seemed a bit loud but it is against type and that can't be all bad....I've been informed she is a comedian in the UK...never heard of her over here.

Well I'm grateful for bittorrent:woot:

Donna was quite loud and annoying when we first met her, but she's changed since that encounter with the Doctor. As long as Catherine Tate doesn't carry her demeanor from her comedienne personality, I think I'll be alright with the 4th series. Tennant appeared on her comedy show once

If you have BBC America, you can catch the Catherine Tate Show fairly often on weeknights.

[chamber-music]

the one with the mamoth on the motorway...
I disliked that episode. The women traped in the car annoyed me. Instead of getting out and running like everyone else she just sat there and screamed.

Catherine Tate (Donna) has done a few films as well as her comedy show. I wouldn't judge her acting on the comedy show. Eric Banna had a sketch show in Austarlia before he made chopper and went to hollywood but watching his sketchshow you would never of thought this guys a good actor.

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, Eric Bana was on a comedy sketch show? Weird.

The trailer for season 4 looks cool. Why's Martha covered in slime, though? :huh:

I was about to mention the films Catherine Tate has been in, I wasn't sure if she could pull off a serious role until I watched "The Bad Mother's Handbook" in which she plays the lead (a single mother dealing with her mother's Alzheimer's and a pregnant teen daughter) and she was absolutely brilliant and you quickly forget her comedy and I've got to admit, I shed a tear LOL, but seriously assuming the writing is decent, she will be brilliant.:o

Gwen definetley needs to go. In terms of characters I like least in the new Doctor Who/Torchwood it goes

1.Rose
2.Gwen
3.Rhys

Gwens like the unattractive welsh version of Lena Headley

Either that, or, as some people on the OG seem to think, a red herring.

[Whirlysplat]

East European girls are often hot. As they make up the majority of "ladies of the night" in the U.K. up. The sad thing is they are often earning not because they are forced into it as some would have you believe, but they are keeping their families in food with the wages they earn in the "pound".

Has anyone seen Sex Traffic with John Simm. Thats a damn depressing tv movie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Traffic

Most of these women from eastern europe are told they can get a better life in the west by organised criminals and are then sold into sexual slavery where they are beaten and raped, have their passports taken away so they can't leave, told their families will be killed.

The criminals get them addicted to drugs so they won't leave because they are addicted and the gangs feed their habits. Its terrible stuff :csad:

It happens a lot more than people think too.

To a point. you never answered me before, Bromley or Bexley?

Anyway, I have a friend who is an East European girl, and yes she came across as part of the sex trade and no that's not how I met her. She was never beaten and bullied and earn a lot of money to send back. Don't laugh she works part time in the city whilst studying now. She speaks Russian, Croatian, Italian and English.

Good for her I guess. If a girl is happy to do that of her own choice then I don't have problem. Although I wouldn't exactly be advising any girls to do it.

New 'Doctor Who' timeslot causes controversy

Thursday, March 27 2008, 16:04 GMT
By Ben Rawson-Jones (http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/cult/a92365/new-doctor-who-timeslot-causes-controversy.html#), Cult Editor
http://images.digitalspy.co.uk/08/13/160x120_dw_s04_generic_3.jpg
The BBC's decision to broadcast the first episode of Doctor Who's new series in an earlier timeslot than usual has sparked a wave of complaints from fans.

The science fiction show's fourth season will commence at 6.20pm on Saturday, April 5 as opposed to the usual 7pm screening. The audition-based reality show I'd Do Anything has instead been preferred for the later primetime slot, when more families are likely to be watching.

Doctor Who fans have widely condemned the move on the Digital Spy forums, as viewing figures have fallen whenever the show has been broadcast before 7pm over the past three seasons.

Forum member 'prking' from Weston-Super-Mare said: "6.20pm is too early. When its been on at an earlier time in the past few years the ratings have dropped. I'll have to record it as we don't get home home on a Saturday until 6.45-ish". 'Djonshore' from Wales added: "I guess before long it'll be at the 5.30pm timeslot like the old days."

However, 'torchwood08' said: "Great news but isn't 6.20 really early?? Anyway who cares - He's Back."

Last year, the programme's executive producer Russell T Davies told Doctor Who Magazine: "I don't like it being on before seven o'clock. It just feels "lesser" at that time of day."


I think I'll have to record it. :o

[04nbod]

This is ridiculously addicting. I watch this sometimes on BBC America. Dumb plots but damn its good.

exactly! i don't think any doctor who fan would say its plot genius but its drama is damn good. At its worst its funny and its best its chilling and i can't think of any other show on TV besides torchwood that makes me feel like that.

And the guy who developed it for Weta, Stephen Regelous, flew half way round the world to work on the show.

There isn't a list, everyone has a different "Best" Doctor.

Correctamundo.

Troughton>Baker

Baker is only so popular cause of the fact he was the Doctor for 7 years, therefore people automatically associate the show with him.

Personally, I hate him.

[Noir]

Tom was good for a while but nothing beats the classic Troughton serials, well, the ones that are still around..

[Lord Valumart]

personally my list goes

mcgann
davison
pertwee
eccleston
REG
troughtan
tennant
mccoy
baker
hartnell
baker

[Noir]

McGann was Doctor once, I'm guessing your counting Audios though.
I wish REG would become and official Doctor :csad:

[Lord Valumart]

mcgann played an awesome dr in a terrible movie...it's a shame they never brought him back for the 05 run:csad:

[Noir]

I've been thinking about Fan-editing it, but no matter how much editing I do.. its still horrible.

[the_ultimate_evil]

anyone see tennant on the Friday night project, bloody brilliant

[04nbod]

i laughed so much i got a headache

[Lord Valumart]

i have one question....how can you laugh at the firday night project:huh:

[BlackLantern]

REG?? I don't know who that is....

[Lord Valumart]

richard e grant...people call him REG for short....he was a first offical 9th dr in a webcast on the bbc website...i think there were going to be three with him...one every christmas or something like that...but the new series got put into motion...he had an android master as a companion:up:

[Noir]

Derek Jacobi was his Master :up:

[BlackLantern]

Interesting.....we don't get any of that other media like the webcasts, magazines or novels....we just get the shows....apparently Sci fi (US) is going to be airing the 4th season soon after it premieres in the UK.....sometime in late April/early May....considering BSG starts up this week, once its on it will probably air right before BSG
